ELIZABETH — A house where a 13-year-old girl shot her father to death last month is unfit for human habitation and would probably take more money than it's worth to fix up, a newspaper reported.

The girl charged with killing Matthew Booth Sr., 34, of Elizabeth, on July 31 remained in a mental health facility Friday, and will eventually will be tried in juvenile court on a criminal homicide charge. The girl's defense attorney contends she shot her father in the face with a shotgun to end years of physical and sexual abuse.

An Allegheny County Health Department report obtained by a Pittsburgh newspaper cited major health code violations, including no furnace or bathroom sink, holes in walls, a leaky ceiling, and flea infestation from pets that were not property cared for.
